Aggies to hit road for NCAA tournament

OKLAHOMA CITY — As expected, Texas A&M will go on the road for the NCAA tournament.

Where is anyone’s guess (will be announced 11:30 a.m. tomorrow), although you figure it likely will come down to three choices as a No. 2 seed: Houston (Rice), Fort Worth (TCU) or Baton Rouge, La. (LSU).

The Aggies, who finished 2-1 in the Big 12 tournament but had lost their four previous games to close out the regular season, are going on the road for a regional for the first time in three seasons.

The last two years, they’ve advanced to a super regional at Rice, where the Owls then advanced to the College World Series. This year the Aggies might get to Houston a little early.

A&M fans can at least take heart in the Aggies’ offense rounding back into form — considering they’ve scored 28 runs and collected 34 hits over their last two games, victories over Oklahoma and Texas Tech.
